What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
When turning the steering wheel while stationary or when driving on uneven roads; cracking, creaking, or knocking noises may be heard.
